Question

Rewrite 4/6:1/3 as a unit rate. A: 2/1 B: 12/6 C: 2/9 D: 12/1

Answer 1

Correct answer is A 2:1

Explanation:

When writing a unit rate the denominator is always 1

If you want to obtain a unit rate you divide both quantities by the second one.

what is a unit rate?

A unit rate means a rate for one of something. We write this as a ratio with a denominator of one. For example, if you ran 70 yards in 10 seconds, you ran on average 7 yards in 1 second. Both of the ratios, 70 yards in 10 seconds and 7 yards in 1 second, are rates, but the 7 yards in 1 second is a unit rate.

Answer 2

2/1

Explanation:

get the first part of each fraction to something divisible by the second part

4 · 3= 12/6

1 · 3= 3/3

12÷2= 2 3÷3= 1

2/1
